Pre Production Report


Our group firstly consisted of 4 people due to unexpected circumstances our group was reduced to only 3 members. We all agreed that everyone will play some sort of acting role in our film. We began with forwarding possible story lines for out film we discussed our ideas for our production we made slight changes as we started to develop our story and came up with solutions that would befit the film. In our opening sequence we thought that we should use past and present (flashbacks) filming technique. When Emily is in the bath these flashbacks occur which gives an atmosphere.


After discussions with our media teacher we thought the best way to use the past in our film was to show a newspaper article about the fire Emily and her family were involved in. This will give the audience a sense of emily being depressed and unhappy, and will also make the audience undersatnd why she has moved with her aunt. This was a good decsion beacuase it helps give the audience a good understanding of the story without giving to much of it away in the opening sequence.

While emily is in the bath the flash backs occur. We agreed that it is vital that we make the audience notice when the flashbacks occur. We decided to use give an affect by making the coulor in the flashbacks senes black and white. This gives an effect of darkness and depression and also clarifies to the audience it is a memory of the past. We (as a group) gave our selves a challenge by deciding to try and create a emeotional teen drama. We feel that we will need to ne sensitive and sophistocated to give a dramatic and affect ion the audience which i feel will be difficult.

We also had to agree as a group that others who are not in our group will need to be used for actors in our film production.
